Bruce,
I remember Gene Allen years ago forecasting that AM would someday be
more like it once was without the number of stations we have today. With
the economy the way it is, I am amazed all these thousands of AM & FM
stations can stay afloat. Running a station is not inexpensive. The
electric bills alone killed KDUN. I do agree that most listeners in the
future will be listening on computers, Ipods, etc. That's where the ads
will be too, not much on FM and probably none on AM. One of the big
furnature companies, Wickes is gone bankrupt, so with well known long
lasting companies losing it, the world is certainly changing.

Gene Allen, what good memories his name conjurs up. Great DXer & all-round
nice guy.
As to IBOC & the future of AM radio.....I'm inclined to agree with
what you see ahead but I'm very puzzled by the large number of
applicants for new AM radio stations that appear regularly for quite
some time. Maybe it's like entering your horse in the Kentucky Derby
before it's even born?
